5 GLOVER SITE INVESTIGATIONS LIMITED HAULBOWLINE, CORK. INTRODUCTION At the request of Glover Site Investigations Limited (the Client), a soils investigation was carried out on. The investigation consisted of performing Cone Penetration Testing at the site. All tests were performed at locations set out by the Client s representative on site. The Scope of works comprised: electric Piezocone Penetration Tests (CPTU s) to a maximum depth of.m or refusal. Dissipation testa Provision of a factual report with estimated soil type. All tests were performed and measured the cone resistance, local side friction and pore water pressure with depth.. FIELDWORK The Cone Penetration Tests were performed with a Tonne track-truck mounted penetrometer equipped with a Tonne Capacity Hydraulic ram set. A single electric piezocone of a type conforming to the requirements of clause. of BS: : Part was used on this project. The cone was manufactured by Geopoint Systems B.V of the Netherlands and measured the cone end resistance (qc), the local side friction (fs) and porewater pressure (u). A copy of the calibration certificate for the cone used is presented in Appendix A. The final depth of the test was determined by either completion of the specified test depth or when the maximum safe capacity of the equipment was reached. A schedule of the tests performed is detailed in Appendix A and has been compiled from the operator s daily progress reports. The cone resistance and local side friction are measured by load cells housed in the cone whilst pore water pressures are measured by a pressure transducer that is also housed in the cone. The recorded data is transmitted through the hollow push rods by an umbilical cable that is attached to a computerised data acquisition system. The rate of penetration is kept constant at mm + mm per second except where penetrating very dense or hard strata. The system gives instantaneous and continuous graphical records of cone resistance, local side friction and porewater pressure with depth on a colour VDU screen. Report No: RRM
6 GLOVER SITE INVESTIGATIONS LIMITED HAULBOWLINE, CORK Simultaneously, the results are recorded on the computer hard disc at mm depth intervals and this facility enables automatic controlled processing and plotting of the data. The data is backed up on a floppy disc at the end of each test throughout the shift.. POSITIONING All positions were set out by the Client s representative on site.. ESTIMATED SOIL TYPE The test results are presented in Appendix B. The cone resistance, local side friction, porewater pressure and calculated friction ratio are all presented against depth. Based on this information and experience in similar soils the estimated soil type is obtained and presented on the log along with the corresponding British Standard soil legend. The estimation of soil type using measurements of just cone and friction are based upon the variation of the friction ratio in respect to the cone end resistance. The friction ratio varies depending upon whether the soil is cohesive or granular. Many studies have been performed on the interpretation of the estimated soil type from the CPT tests (Robertson et. al., and Meigh, ). Details of the references used are presented in Section.. For reference purposes, a chart for the estimated soil type together with a series of tables for soil description are presented in Appendix A.. DISSIPATION TESTING The coefficient of consolidation in a direction perpendicular to the cone axis, Ch, can be assessed from the piezocone test by measuring the dissipation or decay of pore water pressure with time following a pause in the cone penetration. The interpretation of the dissipation test has followed the recommendations of Houlsby and TeH (), and is based on the results of large strain finite element analyses of the penetration pore water pressures and a finite difference analysis of the dissipation of pore water. From this A modified dimensionless time factor T* has been determined from which values for Ch can be derived using the following relationship: T* = Ch.t R. Ir Where: r = radius of the cone Ir = Rigidity Index assumed = ) T = measured time to reach a given degree of consolidation. Report No: RRM
7 GLOVER SITE INVESTIGATIONS LIMITED HAULBOWLINE, CORK From this it can be seen that the analysis includes for the effect of varying the rigidity index Ir = Gu/Su Where; Gu = Shear modulus of the soil Su = Undrained shear strength of the soil A value of Ir of has been assumed in the analysis together with an insitu pore water pressure, (Uo), that corresponds to a standing groundwater level of.m below existing ground level. For the monitoring of the dissipation tests, the saturated porous filter was located in the shoulder, (U ) position in all cases. The results of the dissipation tests are presented in Appendix C..
